Description
This Cutting Skills Packet was created to support distance learning through engagement with the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s Home Safari Program.
It incorporates information about penguins (such as what they eat), includes varying amounts of visual supports (depending on your child or student’s needs) and 13 worksheets that address the skills of snipping, cutting short lines, cutting 4″ lines, cutting 6″ lines, cutting 8″ lines, and cutting “super long” lines.
TIP FOR USE >> Until further mastery, your student will have better success if pages are printed on cardstock. If you don’t have time to change out the paper or don’t have access to cardstock, no problem! I keep a stapler at my therapy table and quickly staple the pages to pieces of construction paper (when I don’t have cardstock nearby). The construction paper is at least thicker than regular copy paper!
As a school-based occupational therapist, I provide a list of cutting tips at the beginning of the cutting packet to ensure that the students you work with develop a correct scissor grasp and proper cutting skills that will support the development of their visual motor skills.
Please, please, please… let me know what you think! I’d love your feedback. Also, please share pictures of your children’s learning-in-action by tagging @ColorfullyEnthused and using the hashtag #thecolorfullyenthusedOT *
* DO NOT SHARE COPIES OR ATTACHMENTS OF THESE WORKSHEETS WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY, OR COWORKERS *
Thank you and enjoy!
